Chapter 464: Orphanage Security Guard Mr. Yun
An illusory door appeared out of thin air on the path between the Black Forest and the fairytale town. The door opened and several figures walked out.
First came Yu Sheng, Luna and Irene after a "transit" from the real world, and then came Yun Qingzi who came directly to the valley in the form of a spirit from the Soul Wilderness.
Yun Qingzi's figure flashed briefly a few times after entering the valley. It first became illusory, and then quickly solidified. In the blink of an eye, there was no trace of the "spiritual body".
Irene was so surprised by this scene that she even got a piece of black spider silk to poke the old man to see if he was real (of course, this rude move was stopped by Yu Sheng): "Hey, old man, your body looks like it's solid, right?"
"Gathering the energy of heaven and earth to create a temporary body isn't as good as the original, but it can be used if the physical body is destroyed. It's just a minor trick," Yun Qingzi laughed cheerfully. "Cultivators who have reached the realm of spiritual out-of-body experience will more or less study some of this technique. It can be considered a technique that originated from the same source as the external incarnation technique."
Irene listened in a daze, then, after fully developing her comprehension, suddenly blurted out, "It's made of compressed air? Will it explode if you poke it?"
Yun Qingzi's cheerful expression froze for a moment: "Uh, that's not what I mean by gathering the energy of heaven and earth. It has nothing to do with compressed air..."
Irene nodded repeatedly: "Oh oh."
He seemed to have no idea what was going on.
Yu Sheng glanced at Yun Qingzi curiously and asked, "Will you be able to rebuild your normal body later?"
"If I have some free time, I could find a quiet place to open a weapon refining workshop. Rebuilding my body wouldn't be difficult," Yun Qingzi said, gazing at the distant mountain scenery. He marveled, "This place is truly a wonderful place. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have imagined that this was a 'cave residence' opened up from a foreign land. Fellow Daoist, your methods are truly extraordinary..."
He paused, then seemed to recall something, and immediately asked, "If I were to reshape my body, would I no longer be able to return to the 'Soul Wilderness'? Or would I only be able to return by leaving my body?"
Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Do you still want to go back?"
"...It's not for anything else, I'm just a little concerned about that seed," Yun Qingzi said somewhat awkwardly, "and that space is indeed quite mysterious. It's really... ahem, it's hard to resist my desire to seek the truth."
Yu Sheng understood what the other party meant and smiled. "Oh, that's not a problem. Under normal circumstances, only spirits can enter that place, and they can only enter if they are in danger or need emergency 'refuge'. But I can also open the door and send you in - in this case, it is not limited to spirits."
He thought for a moment and added, "I was originally planning to open another fixed door in the valley that leads directly to the Soul Wilderness. I'll give you permission once it's completed."
Yun Qingzi nodded repeatedly: "That's good, of course."
"Come on, I'll take you to the fairytale town first," Yu Sheng smiled and pointed to the distance, "Let's walk there and you can take in the scenery along the way. When you decide where to stay, let me know."
The group walked along the path outside the Black Forest towards the center of the valley. On the way, Yu Sheng told Yun Qingzi the general situation of the "fairy tale".
For Yun Qingzi, who lived in the Feiyu Star Region and had been trapped in the Yanxing body for the past thousand years, these things happening at the border were as far away as another world. But when he learned that this was also an "angel disaster" and that the children in the valley were all survivors of the angel disaster, he understood everything in an instant.
Naturally, his attention immediately fell on the Dark Angel.
"Where is the dark angel named Ankaela now?"
"He's dead," Yu Sheng sighed, "He fell from the sky above Jiecheng."
Yun Qingzi blinked.
Ai Lin next to her added: "Let Yu Sheng say it's fatal!"
Yun Qingzi: “……?”
The old man was stunned for half a minute before he suddenly reacted and looked at Yu Sheng as if he had seen a ghost: "...So the Derivative Star Body is actually the second one!?"
"That's fine," Yu Sheng thought for a moment, realizing that explaining the details would be quite tiring, so he simply nodded. "To be honest, the Derivative Star is much more difficult to deal with than Ankaela. This shows that there are differences among the Dark Angels..."
Yun Qingzi stared, and suddenly seemed to have a lot to say. But just as he was about to speak, a crisp voice from not far away interrupted everyone: "Hey, brother?"
When Yu Sheng looked up, he saw a beautiful figure with flowing black hair standing at the entrance of the town not far away, holding a net bag in her hand. She was surrounded by a group of dirty little kids who looked like they had just come back from playing in the wild.
Irene stared at the person across from her for a long time, but couldn't recognize him. "Who is this?"
The black-haired girl opposite grinned upon hearing this, then shook her head, and her black hair instantly turned into a waterfall of blonde: "It's me! Long hair!"
"Ah! Big golden retriever!" Irene finally recognized him and waved happily, "Hey, your hair has changed color. I almost didn't recognize you..."
Yu Sheng's eyes involuntarily fell on the net bag held by Rapunzel. Seeing this, Rapunzel immediately ran over proudly, shaking the plastic bucket in her other hand: "Let's go to the creek to catch fish! Brother, look, I caught two, they're a little small...but there are also shrimp! By the way, when do fish and shrimp appear in the valley?"
"Nonsense! I brought the fish and shrimp from outside and put them into the river!" Yu Sheng's eyes widened. "They've just started breeding and you're already bringing people to fish them out?!"
When Rapunzel heard this, she immediately put the bucket behind her and smiled foolishly at Yu Sheng: "Hehe..."
Yu Sheng was left in a state of confusion by this stubborn guy. Before he could say anything more, the group of kids who had come back from fishing with Changfa had already gathered around him and started to make a commotion: "Brother Yu! When can we go play in the mountains?" "Brother, brother, there are so many beautiful rocks in the river!" "Xiaoxiao just smeared mud on my pants..." "Sister Luna, let me tell you a story. Have you heard of..." "Ah, Irene!"
Irene quickly jumped onto Yu Sheng's shoulder and began to tremble. A group of kids around her were chattering. Luna stood behind Yu Sheng with her hands raised helplessly, as if she was afraid of accidentally hurting these naughty kids. Then several more children noticed the strange old man standing next to Yu Sheng. The timid ones only dared to watch from afar, while the two brave ones came over and looked at Yun Qingzi curiously with their bright eyes.
While Yu Sheng was carrying Irene to avoid those naughty kids, he turned his head and looked at Yun Qingzi helplessly: "You should feel the atmosphere first - let me tell you this, there are indeed mountains and valleys here, and the leisurely jobs are really leisurely, but it's not necessarily 'quiet'... these naughty kids might make a fuss."
"Brother, who is this old man?" Rapunzel pushed the naughty kids away and came up to Yu Sheng and asked curiously.
"This is Yun Qingzi," Yu Sheng quickly raised his hand to introduce him, but in front of the group of children, he didn't mention too many details. "He's from Taixu Lingshu. He's retired and came to the valley to retire. Didn't Little Red Riding Hood say before that there are so many portals in the valley, and it's always unsafe for children to run around? From now on, he will help guard the gate."
Of course, the group of children had no idea what the name Yun Qingzi meant, and they didn't even understand what Taixu Lingshu meant (they only knew that No. 66 Wutong Road had recently moved to a beautiful place with many mountains), but they immediately became happy, and then someone took the lead, and they surrounded Yun Qingzi and started greeting him in a messy manner.
Some shouted "Hello Grandpa", some called him "Grandpa Yun", and some shouted "Hello Uncle Yun" - no one knew who shouted the last one first, but it was obvious that it was almost immediately recognized by all the naughty kids, and in an instant the kids all started calling him "Uncle Yun".
Yu Sheng broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the chaotic situation. He thought that Yun Qingzi, a Taoist ancestor, would not be able to stand this noisy and reckless atmosphere. However, when he looked up, he saw that the old man's face was filled with an unprecedented happy smile.
An old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a simple Taoist robe, was surrounded by a group of children. The wrinkles on his face were almost blooming. He responded to each child's greeting with a smile: "Hey, good, good, children... Hey, you too, everything is fine..."
Rapunzel, who was at the scene, was usually naughty, but she was the oldest one there after all. Seeing the little ones being too noisy, she quickly stepped forward to maintain order: "Don't push up, grandpa is old, you are being disrespectful... Get down! You are not allowed to hold me!"
"It's okay, it's okay," Yun Qingzi was so happy among the doll-heads that he waved to the long-haired princess, "I'm still very strong."
Yu Sheng also stepped forward and pulled his long hair aside: "Don't worry, this old man is better at fighting than you - he's just not in good shape now. When he's in good shape, those seven Thunder Titans will hardly be able to keep up with him for a few moves."
Rapunzel was stunned when she heard this. She turned her head and looked at Yu Sheng blankly: "...Brother, where did you find such a powerful man?"
Yu Sheng looked around and whispered to his long-haired friend in a low voice, "That's the guy who fought against the Star-Evolving Body for a thousand years—he was supposed to be dead, but I intercepted him."
The long-haired man was stunned for about ten seconds, almost screaming out loud, and then quickly lowered his voice: "Wow...Brother! You brought such a god here to be a security guard in our orphanage?!"
"He's happy about it," Yu Sheng continued to mutter, "Don't worry, he's indifferent to life now and just wants to retire. Watching the portal in the valley is definitely more reliable than the Sleeping Beauty who dozed off in the security booth all day."
"real?"
"Don't worry, this guy and I are close friends..."
